Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons German mustard (or Dijon mustard)
• 250 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef slices dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the beef slices in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 8

Slowly pour in the beef stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 9

Stir in the mustard and white wine vinegar, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Return the seared beef slices to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the sauce. Let the beef simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes until tender.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or spätzle (German egg noodles).
